Quite so, and in fact some of us would not be so confident of that claim, 
when it comes to rotations.  There is at least one actual case in point - 
see below.  Not the most exciting extent in the world, but it was quite 
fun to ring, and spliced Arlesey and Helen is most definitely how the band 
thought of it.  At the time, it was not even permitted to described as 
Arlesey with call that changes the lead length.
